All your work and agents in one place

Headless server · Build from source · Documentation · MIT license

boite is an open-source desktop app and self-hosted server for AI agents.
Run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity, Grok and pi in one chat interface,
using their own protocols and your existing accounts.

Keep a conversation per task. Switch models or accounts inside it, give it a
Git worktree, and follow the same work from your desktop or a paired phone.
The agents run on the computer that holds your project.

What you can do

• Manage projects and conversations without keeping an agent process alive for
  every open thread.
• Change providers mid-conversation with bounded context from the journal.
• Read streaming answers, tool calls, reasoning and permission requests together.
• Queue tasks with global and per-account concurrency limits.
• Pair a phone with the web app, or connect the desktop to a headless server.
• On Windows, trace agent processes and their resource use, mute their audio and
  stop their windows from taking focus.

Get started

boite is in beta. The desktop build currently targets Windows x64. The headless
core runs on Linux; its process tracking is more limited than on Windows.

For a local build, install the Bun version named in package.json, then:

bun install --frozen-lockfile
bun run build:ui
bun run dev:core

In another terminal, create a one-time pairing link and open it in your browser:

bun packages/core/src/main.ts pair --owner

Install and authenticate the agents you want to use on that computer. Configure
them in Settings, Providers. See accounts and
provider support.

For the Windows installer, see building and releasing.
For Docker, persistent storage and image updates, see the
boite-server guide.

Development

Built with Bun, TypeScript, Svelte 5 and Tauri 2. The core runs the agents and
owns the journal; the desktop shell and web app use the same RPC contract.

bun run dev:ui       # append ?fake=1 to the URL for a UI without an agent
bun run check
bun run test

Thanks

Thanks to T3 Code for the inspiration behind
boite. We definitely took stuff from there, shoutout to them!

This project also follows
Boite Legacy, the earlier terminal-based app.
